Premature Babies Transferred from Shifa Hospital to South Gaza | VOA News #shorts

Thirty-one premature babies were safely transferred from Gaza's main hospital to another in the south on Sunday, and will be moved to Egypt on Monday, health officials said, as scores of other critically wounded patients remained stranded there days after Israeli forces entered the compound.

The fate of the newborns at Shifa Hospital had captured global attention after the release of images showing doctors trying to keep them warm.

A power blackout had shut down incubators and other equipment, and food, water and medical supplies ran out as Israeli forces battled militants outside the hospital.

Israel has long alleged that Hamas maintains a sprawling command post inside and under Shifa, part of Israel’s wider accusation that the fighters use civilians as cover. Hamas and the hospital deny the allegations. Israel has portrayed the hospital as a key target in its war to end Hamas' rule in Gaza following the militant group's wide-ranging attack into southern Israel six weeks ago, which killed more than 1,200 people and triggered the war.
